Big trees have deep roots. Envision your root system. What would a new layer of growth look like? What do you need to do to catalyze that growth? What are the new shoots? The new parts of you that you seek to develop?

Do you have strong foundation? Are you building on YOUR dreams or someone else’s? It’s important to find the courage to walk away from things that don’t resonate with you. Free that energy for other things!

Live a life of trust, not fear.

Quotes:

Fly high but stay grounded

Sometimes the only way to become grounded is to hit bottom.

To be rooted is perhaps the most important but least recognized needs of the human soul.

-Simone Weil

OAK TREE
A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole the oak tree’s leaves away
Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark
Until the oak was tired and stark

But still the oak tree held its ground
While other trees fell all around
The weary wind gave up and spoke.
How can you still be standing Oak?

The oak tree said, I know that you
Can break each branch of mine in two
Carry every leaf away
Shake my limbs, and make me sway

But I have roots stretched in the earth
Growing stronger since my birth
You’ll never touch them, for you see
They are the deepest part of me

Until today, I wasn’t sure
Of just how much I could endure
But now I’ve found, thanks to you
I’m stronger than I ever knew
